Twinsburg Heights’s center stands about 1,130 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 960 ft to 1,190 ft, a difference of 230 ft: rolling country. The highest named summit within 15 miles is McConougheys Hill, about 1,370 ft, 11 miles northeast.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Allegheny and Pottsville Groups, Undivided (shale, siltstone), from the Carboniferous, 299 to 324 million years old.
The section below crosses 4 rock units mapped at the surface.
Heights every 0.1 mile from the Copernicus GLO-90 surface model; vertical exaggeration about 29×. The colored band under the surface is the rock the state geologic map shows at the surface, not a picture of what lies beneath.
Shale, siltstone. Age: Carboniferous, 299 to 324 million years old. About 11 mi of the line.
Shale, siltstone, sandstone. Age: Devonian to Carboniferous, 324 to 422 million years old. About 10 mi of the line.
Shale, black-shale. Age: Devonian, 359 to 422 million years old. About 3 mi of the line.
Sandstone, shale. Age: Devonian, 359 to 422 million years old. About 0.7 mi of the line.
From the USGS State Geologic Map Compilation (Horton and others, 2017), the states’ geologic maps joined at a common scale.
Heights from Copernicus GLO-90 (a surface model: it includes buildings and tree canopy); summits from USGS GNIS; rivers from USGS NHDPlus HR; rock from the USGS State Geologic Map Compilation.
A raindrop that lands in Twinsburg Heights reaches Lake Erie by way of Tinkers Creek and the Cuyahoga: about 35 river miles. From there it moves on through the Great Lakes, over Niagara Falls and down the St. Lawrence to the Atlantic.
Traced down the USGS NHDPlus V2.1 river network from the Census center point of Twinsburg Heights; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
Twinsburg Heights has a hot-summer humid continental climate. Summer afternoons average 85° in July; winter nights fall to about 17° in January. A normal year brings about 45 inches of snow; with the rain, that comes to about 43 inches of water.
Normals 1991–2020 and records since 1948 at Ravenna 2 S, 15 miles southeast. NOAA, through RCC-ACIS.
